 Passenger drone that can fly at 80mph is exhibited in China

时速可达80英里的载客无人机在中国展出

 

A drone big enough to carry human passengers was exhibited in China this week, and manufacturer EHang hopes that the machine could soon work like a flying taxi.

本周，一款载客无人机在中国展出，制造商亿航希望这架无人机能像飞行出租车一样工作。

The EHang 216 has a top speed of 80mph and is autonomous, receiving signals via a 4G or 5G phone network from a command and control centre.

亿航216是全自动的，最高时速可达80英里，通过4G或5G手机网络接收来自指挥控制中心的信号。

It can carry a payload of up to 220kg and has a range of up to 20 miles.

其有效载荷可达220公斤，航程可达20英里。

The aircraft is fully electric-powered and can be charged off the mains in one hour, EHang says.

亿航表示，这款飞机完全由电力驱动。

It requires no runway to take off.

这款飞机起飞时不需要跑道。

EHang said: “The technology of autonomous flight eliminates the possibility of failure or malfunction caused by man-made errors.

亿航表示:“自主飞行技术消除了人为失误导致故障的可能性。

“Without any concern about controlling or operating the aircraft, the passengers can just sit and enjoy the journey.

“不用担心飞机的控制和操作，乘客只需坐着享受旅程。”

The company was granted a world-first licence to use drones to carry freight in China earlier this year.

今年初，该公司获得了全球首个在中国使用无人机载货的许可证。

Hu Huazhi, EHang’s founder, chairman and CEO, said: “We are thrilled that the CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) and EHang took the lead on the world’s first commercial pilot operation approval of passenger-grade AAVs (autonomous aerial vehicle) for air logistics uses. This approval is of great significance.

亿航创始人、董事长兼首席执行官胡华智表示:“亿航获得了中国民航局审批的全球首个载人级自动驾驶飞行器的物流试运行许可，这一批准意义重大，我们感到非常激动。”

“For EHang, it enables us to enhance our first-mover advantage and accelerate the commercialisation of AAV technology and air mobility solutions for logistics.

“对亿航而言，这有助加强我们的先发优势，并加速自动驾驶飞行器（AAV）技术和空运物流解决方案的商业化。”

“It also lays a foundation for regulators around the world to jointly explore and establish a coordinated, supportive and sustainable regulatory environment. This will benefit the long-term development of the promising Urban Air Mobility (UAM) applications.”

“这也为全球监管机构共同探索和建立一个协调、支持和可持续的监管环境奠定了基础，将有利于促进城市空中交通(UAM)应用的长期发展。”

Test flights of passenger drones have already been completed by AeroMobil in Slovakia and Kitty Hawk in the US.

AeroMobil已经在斯洛伐克和美国完成了载客无人机的试飞。

Experts have predicted that the flying car market could be worth up to $1 billion by 2030.

专家预测，到2030年，飞行汽车的市场价值将达到10亿美元。

The biggest barrier to flying cars is regulation, especially in the UK where the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) sets the rules.

飞行汽车最大的障碍是监管，尤其是在英国，那里的规则由英国民航局(CAA)制定。

The CAA has said that any flying vehicle would be treated in exactly the same way as other light aircraft and it would be “many years” before they could fly without a pilot.

民航局表示，飞车将受到与其他轻型飞机完全相同的待遇，实现无人飞行还要过“很多年”。

 

以下是美国雅虎读者的评论：

Hello.... I'm Sarah Sanders

I love new tech but if it relies on 5G signals, what happens if you are in air and signal is lost?

我喜欢新技术。这款飞车依赖5G信号，如果飞行过程中信号消失了怎么办?

Seeing that it's an over sized drone I think it'll fly just fine.... but not sure if I'd trust my life with it..... Would you?

这是一款大号无人机，还不错……我不确定自己是否愿意一试，你们呢?

This is actuaIIy pretty smart. If you read the articIe, they are approved to carry freight. Perfect scenario to work out the bugs in China

这款飞机真的很智能，已经获得运输货物的许可证，在中国这是解决问题的完美方案。

Don't hold your breath for this stuff. Engineers can't even get autonomous cars to work reliably yet.

不要为这些事激动不已，自动驾驶汽车都还不可靠。

i just bought stock in ehang's parachute supplier...

我刚买了亿航的降落伞供应商的股票…

Range of up to 20 miles? So you get 15 maybe 20 minuets of flying time, that is really scary.

航程20英里?

只能飞15-20分钟时间，这真的很可怕。

Is it safe!!!??

这飞机安全吗？

What is the benefit of a drone type passenger vehicle compared to a helicopter? Is it because it is more stable and easier to fly than helicopter? but with so many blades around the cockpit, wouldn't it be inconvenient to get in-and-out of the vehicle and have to dodge the blades in order to keep the passengers' legs intact?

与直升机相比，载客无人机的优点是什么?是因为它比直升机更稳定、更好飞行吗?但是驾驶舱周围有这么多的叶片，在上下飞机时，为了不伤到腿脚，乘客必须避开叶片，这不是很不方便吗?

Maybe selling it to cruise ship industry first. Tourists on board can make a short flight out to ocean and return back to the ship, without crowding the sky.

也许可以先卖给游轮行业。船上的游客可以在海上短途飞行，然后返回船上。

"Maker eHang says, ‘The technology of autonomous flight eliminates the possibility of failure or malfunction caused by man-made errors. '"

haha... just ask tesla about autonomous failures.... and ehang is chinese stuff..... much more susceptible...

“制造商亿航称，自主飞行技术消除了人为失误导致故障的可能性。”哈哈…去问问特斯拉关于自动驾驶系统发生故障的案例…亿航216是中国货，更容易出故障……

All of my made in China items break down and degraded at an unusual acceleration rate. Hence, I do not have good opinion on made in China products.

我买的中国产品都坏得特别快，所以我对中国制造的产品没有什么好感。

the upgraded model comes with grocery cart wheels

升级后的型号配有购物车轮子

Well that will never work in the US. 220kg is about 480lbs. That's not even enough to carry 2 average sized american adults.

这种飞机在美国没什么用的，有效载荷220公斤，约480磅，载不起2个中等体型的美国成年人。

There were doubters when the Wright Brothers made first flight too. The brave seek solutions and the weak make excuses.

当莱特兄弟第一次驾驶飞机时也有人持怀疑态度。勇敢的人寻找解决办法，弱者总是找借口。

 

Peter

Only twenty miles. I guess if you figure to only do city traffic it may work. But only 20 miles ???

续航只有20英里。如果只在市区内飞，这种飞机可能有点用。但续航才20英里?

made in china? i would not get on it without parachute

中国货?没有配降落伞的话，我是不会坐的

 

Doug

A made in China passenger drone? I don't think many around the world will be brave enough to use one.

中国制造的无人机?

我认为世界上没有多少人有足够的勇气敢坐上去。

 

Craig

Like everything made in China it will fall to bits after 5 minutes.

就像所有中国货一样，5分钟后就会散架。

Chinese companies are about to be delisted from US stock exchanges

We've had the technology since the 80s...

80年代美国就有这项技术了…

in the US that would be a payload equivalent to one person. nope, that is not going to sell in the US.

这款无人机的有效载荷太小了，在美国，只能载一个人，在美国是卖不出去的。
